We are making some changes to our team, bringing more people in to help with the organization, management as well as structure of the project. Our end goals are to produce timely releases with zero or minimal bugs, and to implement new features regularly. This is still work in progress, so once we have everything settled, we will explain everything with a relevant blog post.
